This test suite is primarily aimed at reproducing the various CVE issues we've had over the years that require custom crafted protocol requests. It may also be useful for other testing. Wrapped in python because pytest is a powerful test suite runner and writing custom buffers is easy. The architecture is so that we fork off an X server (one or more of Xvfb, Xwayland, Xorg) and then run our test clients against that to check whether we get the right reply, or crash the server, or whether valgrind complains about something (valgrind is started automatically for tests that are marked as such). Tests can be run manually via pytest or via meson test. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-claude-opus-4-6 Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/2187> |

X server test suite This suite contains a set of tests to verify the behaviour of functions used internally to the server. = How it works = Through some automake abuse, we link the test programs with the same static libraries as the Xorg binary. The test suites can then call various functions and verify their behaviour - without the need to start the server or connect clients. This testing only works for functions that do not rely on a particular state of the X server. Unless the test suite replicates the expected state, which may be difficult. = How to run the tests = Run "make check" in the test directory. This will compile the tests and execute them in the order specified in the TESTS variable in test/Makefile.am. Each set of tests related to a subsystem are available as a binary that can be executed directly. For example, run "xkb" to perform some xkb-related tests. == Adding a new test == When adding a new test, ensure that you add a short description of what the test does and what the expected outcome is.
